Exploring the Area off Platinum Road

 August 18, 2013

 Coming down from the Watson Cemetery we found a turtle!  He was spotted in a clearing in front of one of the neighboring homesites.  Kind of an unexpected yard ornament for a mountain cabin, don'tcha think?

Pretty waterfall.  Wouldn't this look nice alongside 

our timber frame barn.

Lichen and mushrooms create an interesting design on this tree.

Making the hike up Platinum Road back to the cabin.  Whew.  This continuous grade is a lot harder to hike than it looks!
